Fri, 18 Aug 2017 03:33:35 +0000http://lessthanperfectlifeofbliss.com/?p=11297#comment-32290Just painted the bricks on the fireplace. They were a nasty yellow, painted them three reds with some black. Waited a day to completely dry, then did the white mortar. Like with original brick, spray with water first then adhere the mortar. Used a ziplock with corner snipped off like you were cake decorating to get in the original grout lines, worked like a champ! Used a trowel to take off the main bulk then for the next two days, used burlap to wipe off to expose more color. Walk by, wipe a little, walk away. Rinse and repeat. It turned out awesome!!!

Mon, 10 Jul 2017 01:53:28 +0000http://lessthanperfectlifeofbliss.com/?p=11297#comment-30722I have native stone on my home, I hate it! Do you think a German smear would work just as well as brick?

Sun, 07 May 2017 22:13:08 +0000http://lessthanperfectlifeofbliss.com/?p=11297#comment-20023I think the light gray or cream colored mortar would be great! Especially with a darker gray accent color. I would suggest searching for homes with terra-cotta roofs on Pinterest & see what comes up that you like! Good luck!
